In case you didn't see it at the top of the front page of The Oregonian this morning, here's the link to my story about how Gov. Ted Kulongoski and Oregon legislative leaders plan to ratchet up borrowing for public works projects around the state.

They see it as the best way to help reverse the state's rising unemployment rate - much in the same fashion that the incoming Obama administration plans to pour billions into infrastructure improvements. Unlike the feds, the state can't run a deficit. But critics question whether the state will saddle itself with too much debt.
